Beloit Sky Carp News Release
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - One swing of the bat was the difference in Tuesday night's Cedar Rapids win over the Sky Carp.
A two-out, two-run double in the third inning by Kernels catcher Eduardo Tait gave Cedar Rapids all the runs they would need in a 2-0 victory.
South Bend fell to Peoria 12-1 to keep the Midwest League Western Division tied with 11 games to play.
The Sky Carp pitching was outstanding Tuesday night. Karson Milbrandt got the start and allowed two runs in 4 2-3 innings, striking out 10 along the way. It was the second consecutive start that Milbrandt has struck out 10.
R.J. Shunck, Peyton Fosher and Justin Storm all had scoreless outings out of the bullpen to keep the game close.
The Sky Carp ended up out-hitting the Kernels 5-3, with Ian Lewis leading the way with two knocks.
The Sky Carp and the Kernels will meet again Wednesday at 6:35 p.m.
The Carp will return home for their final regular season home game of the season against the Peoria Chiefs beginning Tuesday.
